Believe it or not, Chris Barrie and Robert Picardo once met at a convention, and exchanged hologram autographs.

Back in the mid 90's, Craig Charles and Robert Llewellyn hosted a Red Dwarf marathon on one of the local PBS stations in the Bay Area (KTEH, I believe). There was some viewer questions and a young kid asked 'Who would win in a fight between Kryten and Data?' Robert Llewellyn replied: "Oh, Data would. Kryten would just stand there and say 'I'm sorry, Mr. Data, sir, but my head seems to be repeatedly impacting on your fist.'"

B.L.Z. Bub:Yeah, not a showrunner, subby. Still sad, though. All those veterans from the show's beginning are leaving us. :(

/I think of the original crew who's still alive I'll miss William Russell the most when he goes

"Showrunner" is a dumbass title invented by Hollywood when they realized that ego-stroking title inflation had run rampant.

In the rest of the world, we'd call the person in overall charge of something the 'director' or the 'manager', but one of those refers to the guy who yells 'cut!' and the other is the smarmy guy who lunches at Sardi's and takes 10% of the actors' paychecks. 'Producer' would work fine, if not for that pesky title inflation thing.

You say that like Moffat dying would be a BAD thing....that guy is running Doctor Who into the ground...that Christmas special was HORRIBLE...

If by "running it into the ground", you mean, "growing the fanbase to become the largest its ever been while improving the quality of the show", than yes.

Seriously, go back and watch old Who. There's a lot of good stuff, sure, but there's a lot of bad acting, stupid stories, and really awful effects as well. Watch the Davies version. Plenty of good stuff there, but then watch the concrete blowjob episode. Watch Fear Her. Now watch the 50th anniversary special.

Yeah, that Moffat is sure awful. *rolls eyes*.

Moffat is a misogynistic ass-clown, a really shiatty writer, and an arrogant douche-nozzle. But because there were two episodes prior to his run that sucked, we're supposed to think he doesn't spew shiat every time he puts pen to paper? My cat writes a better episode of Doctor Who than Moffat every time she uses the litterbox.
